Manga Spirit Undies

When I make a new doll, I like to start with underwear as the first pieces of clothing. They create a good foundation for beginning, giving me an idea of how many stitches are needed to fit around the waist, how many rows are long enough for a top, how large does the armhole opening need to be...you get the picture. From the basic camisole and undies, all the other clothing pieces can be worked out.

So here you can start with crochet or knit undies for your crochet or knit Manga Spirit :-)

Beth, these are just the CUTEST! Love the process (especially how you showed the eyes as you created) and - yes, indeed! - I ALWAYS begin with MY underwear when I get dressed so I think that's a VERY good plan! LOL! Sorry. Couldn't help myself! Your Mangas are adorable!

Thank you! The patten is freely available here on my blog. Scroll down the left sidebar until you reach 'Manga Spirit Patterns' and you will find several links to the clothing and the doll, both in knit and crochet.

About Me

Welcome! My name is Beth and I live in the Midwest of the United States. I was 12 years old when Neil Armstrong stepped foot on the moon. I would have been an astronaut, but my fear of heights has kept me grounded :-) Instead, I became a Mechanical Engineer and worked in industry for many years. Now I design and make soft dolls; a passion I've enjoyed since my Grandmother first taught me to crochet.
